O.K. Get the f**k over yourself people. Please go ahead and move to Canada if you're so pissed at America. Do the country a favor and move. Stop leaving pissy facebook messages and myspace comments about how you should move to another country because of who we voted in as the next President.

Honestly - could we stop this? Please? I feel like this has gotten to the point of ridiculousness. When people were upset about Bush being elected President, it was readily accepted. Just because you support Obama, please don't sit there and judge those who aren't quite so happy. Some of us supported the other candidate, and some of the Obama supporters were the same Kerry and Gore supporters telling us how they would leave the country if Bush was elected. It happens every election, and you should respect other people's views the same way some of us respected the views of Kerry and Gore voters.

Honestly, let's just have respect for the fact that there is a difference of opinion. Not everyone is thrilled about Obama being elected. It's ok - it shouldn't take away from your joy about your candidate being elected.

At the same time, is it really necessary for an Obama supporter to say "I just quit my job so YOU PEOPLE can share the wealth!"

Classy. Way to rub it in.

Congrats Obama! I sincerely hope he's not a politician that's "all talk." I expect great things from him

LOL - you're watching a different feed than I am - Grant Park clearly showed a tepid no-reaction, then a cut-out on the feed mics from CNN. Literally the "winning" equivalent of the McCain crowd.

This is an absurdity during an amazing moment - knock it off, all of you.

I noticed the same thing. Sen. Obama mentioned McCain and there was a smattering of polite applause and several crowd shots of groups of Obama supporters clearly looking like they did not care to clap (and didn't).

Big deal on both sides. As alphagamzetagam pointed out, people are human. They're just doing what they feel in the moment. Neither side should be painted with a broad brush based on the reactions of the TV crowds in highly-emotional moments.

Someone shared this on another site, and I think it is beautiful and the best expression of what I am feeling right now.

They showed a gorgeous sign at an Obama Party a few moments ago.

"Rosa sat,
so that Martin could walk,
so that Obama could run,
so that our children could fly"

Can we stop criticizing the McCain supporters for booing? I remember the Kerry concession during the last election. His supporters were rather liberal in their boos. It's the way it goes when a candidate loses. To try to paint it as something more is allowing one's bias to get in the way of good common sense.
